Question 16

The media mention club drugs such as Ecstasy,GHB,Rohypnol,and ketamine as a common and alarming cause of medical harm and even death.What does a more careful examination of the facts reveal? Cite information that indicates that club drugs are not as dangerous as the media claim.

Accepted Answer

A more careful examination of the facts reveals that while club drugs such as Ecstasy, GHB, Rohypnol, and ketamine can certainly pose risks, they may not be as dangerous as the media often claims. According to a report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), while club drugs can have serious health effects, including overdose and death, the actual number of deaths attributed solely to these drugs is relatively low compared to other substances. For example, the NIDA report states that in 2019, there were 16,167 overdose deaths involving prescription opioids and 14,019 overdose deaths involving cocaine, while there were 1,654 overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids other than methadone, which includes drugs like fentanyl. In comparison, the number of deaths specifically attributed to club drugs is much lower.

Additionally, the NIDA report also highlights that the use of club drugs has been declining in recent years, with the Monitoring the Future survey showing a decrease in the use of drugs like Ecstasy and GHB among high school students. This suggests that while club drugs can still pose risks, their prevalence and impact may not be as widespread as the media often portrays.

It's important to note that while club drugs may not be as dangerous as the media claims, they still carry significant risks and can have serious consequences for those who use them. It's always important to approach drug use with caution and to seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse.
